eidelon wall

[Karl]

anyone know anything about the eidelon wall? isnt it supposed to be some sidequest and tell u garnets real mom's name when u finish or somethin?

[G SpOtZ]

i thought it tells you garnets real name O_O but i did it and i don't remember it. i just remember thinking "am i SUPPOSED to be disappoitned with this result or did i just do it wrong?"

[Craig]

Isn't Garnet's real name Sarah?

[Aidan]

i dont remember. theres 3 names. mary, jane, and sara. i dont remember whos names they go to, but theyre the real names of garnet, brahne, and garnets real mother i believe.

just for the record its eidolon. and yeah, theres a side quest that tells you the real names. im too tired to look up or redo the quest to figure out if im right or not. dont go with what i say... since i am almost always wrong.

[tranvanhieu]

You can know Garnet's and her mother real name.
I'm not sure but ..
Garnet:Sarah
Her mother :Janet?
...I'm really not sure

[assemblage]

yeah, Garnet's Sarah. (sorry for those who wanted it to be a surprise...) and yeah, it pretty much was a disappointment. i was pissed and going around grumbling the entire day cuz i expected more. but yknow, whatever.

[karlabaines]

There is another side quest for it. Just cant remember.

[abrojtm]

Garnet=Sarah
Her mother=Jane
Direct homage to FFI.

(Brahne is not named Mary)

[G SpOtZ]

well at least i know i did the side quest right... it was sooo weak when i found out garnets real name was sarah. geez. they couldn't get creative with the names or anything or make it really interesting to part of the story. WEEEEAAAAK...

[assemblage]

haha yeah, i know what you're talking about. for some reason, it should've had some kind of....higher significance to the game or something. it's sooo...blurgh.

[Mr.Cal]

Garnet=Sara (no "h"!)
Mother=Jane.

So in a pedantic way it's NOT homage FFI, abrojtm. Unless - of course - there is a Madain Sari in #1, or if the "h" in Sara was rubbed off in a particularly violent eraser fight.

i'm sticking with eraser fight.

[eestlinc]

you're going to argue over the spelling of Sara vs Sarah as being different in games translated from Japanese? Come on...

[G SpOtZ]

i think sara's a stupid name.

[eestlinc]

thank's for sharing.

[assemblage]

now, don't be crackin' on the Saras that are here... :tongue:

[G SpOtZ]

i think sara's a stupid name for a secret name for a main character in a game.

[eestlinc]

well, it's a reference to ff 1.

[G SpOtZ]

O.o it is? i've never played ff1 and i'm not actually really planning on it.. so can i see screenshots or something?

[DJZen]

No, no you can't.

haha goz got served...

[G SpOtZ]

haha goz got served...
???

how'd i get served?

DJZen thx for the screenshot. what's the story behind the reference? if it's a reference, does that mean it's got some kind of relevance to the ffix sara story thing?

Not quite.... but they are both princess.

Well, there are some parts in FF IX can be view as a reference to FF I. Like the four fiends which is also from FF I. Garland which is also the main villian in FF I.

[eestlinc]

the entire game ff9 is filled with references to each of the previous games. this one just happens to be a reference to ff1. None of them really mean anything in relation to the storyline.

[G SpOtZ]

oh. well they should. that would make things more interesting XD

FF1 is not worth wasting time playing, i have it on GBA and there is no dialogue from your party members, so knowing WHAT to do and WHERE to go is near impossible.

anyone remember the "Rune Claws"? ( i think it's them) that one refers to Sabin of FFVI

[eestlinc]

ff1 has a pretty cool story considering. and it has some great characters like the giant that eats the RUBY and the sad robot in the solitary cave, and of course the bats. Classic.
